Brash Higgins - ‘SHZ’ Shiraz

Brash Higgins 2016 ‘SHZ’ Shiraz

'Blood plum in hue, the nose of the Brash 16 SHZ is brooding with black plums, chorizo, blood orange zest, spicy paprika, nutmeg and liquorice. There's a sweet earthy note that is typical of Omensetter Vineyard's red clay. The palate is generous, well-balanced and smooth, the tannins integrated, and the finish long with complex, interweaving berry and spice notes.' 

Made from 19 year old shiraz vines grown at the BH estate Omensetter Vineyard. Vinted from hand selected fruit, 25% whole bunch, and sent to open one ton fermenters for 3 weeks. Wild yeast did their job and then it all was basket pressed and sent to a mix of 1-8 year old French hogsheads for 15 months. 2016 in the Vale is one of the best years we've seen resulting in balanced wines with power and spice. This is the third vintage the SHZ was made entirely at the BH winery.

Made in McLaren Vale, South Australia.
